How to Choose a Trustworthy Conservatory Roof Installer
Avoiding Misleading Claims as You Plan Home Upgrades for the New Year
As the year draws to a close, many homeowners naturally start reflecting on their living space — what works, what doesn’t, and what they may want to improve in the year ahead. If upgrading your conservatory is on your list for the New Year, now is a sensible time to pause, do a little research, and make sure you’re choosing the right installer before committing.
Replacing a conservatory roof is a significant investment and, unfortunately, not all companies operate with the same level of transparency. Confusion around accreditations, unclear guarantees and over-promising marketing claims can leave homeowners feeling uncertain.
At 2Hot2Cold Ltd, we believe informed decisions lead to better outcomes. This guide is designed to help you recognise reputable installers, understand what really matters, and move forward with confidence.
The Importance of Doing Your Homework
Before committing to any home improvement project, it’s worth taking a few simple steps to verify the company you’re considering. These checks are straightforward and help ensure clarity from the outset.
Check the Company’s Credentials
- Use Companies House to confirm the company is actively trading and registered in the UK.
- Check basic details such as the company name, registration number and trading address so you know exactly who you are dealing with.
- A reputable business should be open and comfortable with customers verifying this information.
Review Certifications and Guarantees
- Established conservatory roof installers should be clear about Building Control certification and what is included as part of the installation.
- Guarantees underwritten by recognised bodies, such as The CPA, can be independently verified. (Our CPA membership number is 2771.)
- Where relevant, check ASSURE or FENSA registration and ensure the certification applies to the specific work being carried out.
Take Time to Read Independent Reviews
- Customer reviews on trusted platforms can provide useful insight into workmanship, reliability and aftercare.
- Look for consistency over time rather than isolated comments — this often paints the clearest picture.
Red Flags Worth Watching For
While many companies operate professionally, there are a few warning signs that may warrant caution:
Over-Criticism of Other Companies
If a business spends more time talking about competitors than explaining its own products and process, it’s worth pausing. Reputable companies tend to focus on their own standards and results.
Confusing Company Details
Clear branding, consistent company information and transparent documentation help avoid misunderstandings. If something feels unclear, it’s reasonable to ask questions before proceeding.
Vague or Unverifiable Claims
Accreditations, guarantees and performance figures should always be easy to explain and support with documentation.
What Reputable Companies Do Differently
Professional installers prioritise transparency, communication and customer understanding. Look for companies that offer:
- Clear, calm communication from enquiry through to completion
- Verified accreditations and guarantees, explained in plain language
- A proven track record with examples of completed projects
- Transparent pricing, with itemised quotations and honest advice
For example, recognised systems such as LEKA Warm Roofs and Warmer Roofs include Building Control certification, and reputable installers ensure this is properly registered and documented.
